Friday, July 2, 2021 - This has just crested over the hill, but still in a very nice place. Strong note of apples - somewhere between baked and wizened, but definitely not fresh. Classic hints of lanolin and straw, with some citrus freshness to balance. Definitely a touch oak spice, though well integrated. The acid is quite assertive, but it's not out of balance or unpleasantly sharp. There is still a sense of what was probably a classical crystalline structure in all its glory, but this needs drinking.

There is just that hint of oxidation, which I find attractive at the moment, but as soon as I sense that I'd rather drink sooner rather than later. There is so much acid (not in a bad way) that the sense of freshness is still very much there. Hope you find them!
